Illegal Immigrants in Schools

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, President Biden's and Secretary Mayorkas' handling of our southern border has made every State, including my home State of Tennessee, a border State. Now, illegal immigrants are being housed in public schools, threatening our children's ability to learn.

House Republicans are denouncing this heinous action by passing H. Res. 461, which condemns the use of public school facilities to house illegal immigrants.

Housing illegal immigrants at public schools diverts resources from students already suffering from historic learning loss. Additionally, schools with summer programs or activities will now be forced to consider the additional security threat housing illegal immigrants at their facilities poses.

Mr. Speaker, if the Biden administration would work with Republicans to secure the border, this wouldn't be happening. However, since it is, we must condemn it, which is why I urge Members to join me in supporting H. Res. 461.
